Enagás CEO Arturo Gonzalo and Axpo Iberia CEO Ignacio Soneira presented today at the Port of Huelva the ‘Alisios LNG’ bunkering vessel, which will operate in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. The ship, which will promote the use of LNG and bioLNG as sustainable fuels for the decarbonization of maritime transport, is owned by Enagás —through its subsidiary Scale Green Energy— and has been chartered by Axpo for commercial use.
The official presentation of the vessel held today at the Port of Huelva was attended by, among other authorities, the Secretary of State for Transport and Sustainable Mobility, José Antonio Santano; the Secretary-General for Air and Maritime Transport, Benito Núñez; the Government’s Deputy Representative in Huelva, María José Rico; the Deputy Minister for Industry, Energy and Mines of the Regional Government of Andalusia, Cristóbal Sánchez; the President of Puertos del Estado, Gustavo Santana; the President of the Port Authority of Huelva, Alberto Santana; and the Mayor of Palos de la Frontera, Milagros del Rocío Romero.
The vessel incorporates advanced systems that provide excellent maneuverability, enabling operations in different port environments. It is also equipped with technology designed to preserve the fuel in optimal conditions and to optimize its management throughout the entire voyage. All of this makes the ‘Alisios LNG’ a versatile, efficient, and reliable vessel for supplying more sustainable fuels.
